(required) But it's commented out. Why is that if it's required, or is it only required for certain options? If the former is the case, it should probably be uncommented, otherwise the comment that it's required should probably clarified. Does it work for the other arches (most noticeably amd64) as well, or just i386? Lastly, please take a look at pr conf/128590 for updates to NOTES with most of these options. Thanks for all the hard work! Regards! //Niclas
